Whenever I'm resetting this ledge for a new vacation or season, I take everything off of information technology and so I can kickoff with a blank slate. Then I set out to gather upward new things to frame.

The rest of the frames are filled with standard wallpaper, and I also added in that large red tin tray.

I created the fabric bead garland while watching TV one nighttime. Can y'all believe I found all three of those fabrics at the thrift store this twelvemonth? How astonishing is that? I used the ruddy buffalo check fleece, the green polka dotted fabric, and the black and white check is actually part of a blouse.

I used these small styrofoam balls as the base of operations of the garland. I poked holes through them with a wooden skewer, and so used a glue gun to comprehend the balls with thin strips of fabric. Once they were all covered in fabric, I bent a paper clip into a makeshift needle and strung them on embroidery floss.

I used the aforementioned fabric and process to cover old ornaments for our Christmas tree this year. If you missed them, here'due south the tutorial.

Doesn't my couch look then festive now? You lot can see it right when you walk in our front door, so I love that the picture ledge makes it like shooting fish in a barrel to switch things upwards for unlike holidays and seasons.
